“Whitney is an excellent walker! Sully was immediately excited and eager to meet her and was clearly very happy after the walk. I’ve already booked a second walk with Whitney!”
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly enjoy caring for both dogs and cats. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. Whether your pet loves to play, go on walks, cuddle, or simply relax in a quiet space, I’ll provide patient, attentive, and loving care tailored to them. My priority is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs daytime companionship, overnight care, walks, feeding, playtime, or medication, I can accommodate their routine and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I strive to be reliable, responsive, and flexible to meet both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where dogs and cats can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they receive personalized care. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and dependable hands. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I would give my own.
“We met Nicole for the first time. She's a wonderful young woman, full of positive energy and joy. Our dog Sasha immediately liked and trusted her. It's clear that Nicole has a huge heart for animals. We offered Nicole a full-year schedule right away. ~ Tom”

She was informative and responsible. This was my first time using rover and I had a great experience thanks to Gio. She has a true love for dogs and what she does. I will definitely work with her in the future.”

She also followed our requests to walk certain routes and handled Biscuit's route preferences and hesitations during the walk well.

About: With 3 years of experience caring for pets in the DC area, I provide reliable and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. From daily walks and feeding to overnight stays, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and entertained while you’re away.

About: Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing the best care and companionship for our furry friends. I have been pet sitting for close to 7 years now, through Wag and also with Rover. Experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs. I grew up with animals, as I had taken care of my own dog-Misia, a coackapoo, for 10 years and my mother with her Havanese dog, Tomo, of 4 years (and on-going!) I lead an active lifestyle and take dogs out for a long walk or find fun ways to play with cats too. I want to make sure I can provide a tailored approach to make sure your pets' needs are met as a photo enthusiast, happy to take pictures and provide an update throughout a boarding and/or a sitting especially. Coming up close to 7 years of being a pet sitter for Wag, Rover and individual clients, I would be honored to be your reliable pet sitter! I will be out of the country starting Sep 6 until mid November. I will have access to internet so if you are looking for services after mid-November, then please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you 😊 First and foremost what's important is that I understand the client's needs and their instructions on how to take care of their pets. Once you book my service, I would be more than happy to do an in-person meet and greet or a video call. If there are any further instructions (beyond what is listed on the Rover app), then I am happy to provide my personal email address if you would like to e-mail the instructions. These are the steps I take to ensure I can take care of the clients' pets in a safe and trusting environment.
“Sarah came by on short notice and was great with Benji, taking lots of pictures and giving him a longer walk than I probably would have. Huge help while we're adjusting to the new city.”
About: My first "real job" was being a dog walker, where I would walk a cocker spaniel named Gonzo after school for 3 years. Since then I have dog and cat sat for neighbors through the years, both for short weekend trips and for longer multi-week trips requiring me to house sit as well. I fostered my first kitten for a month while in college, and helped foster over 30 cats and kittens during the pandemic since I had a little extra time on my hands. Over the past two years I have been pet/house sitting most months. I have watched everything from one dog or one cat for 4 days, to two cats and a dog for 2.5 weeks. I've watched puppies and kittens from 4 weeks old and on, and dogs and cats as old as 14 years. The actual breeds have been all over the place, but in terms of dog size I've watched everything from small terriers and daschhounds to huge labs and german shepherds. In addition to owning and caring for a goldendoodle for 11 years, I've also done a lot of pet sitting for my parents 6 year old rescue hound/lab mix and 4 year old rescue short-haired cat. While watching your dog(s) or cat(s) I would rearrange my schedule as needed to prioritize giving most of my attention to your pet(s). I work remote and generally have a flexible schedule, so I could feed/walk/care for your pet(s) following whatever schedule they are used to. I don't work on the weekends and would be able to dedicate any needed time on weekends to caring for your pet(s)! I am happy to care for your pet in your home the same way you typically do so that they maintain the same routine. Whether that means letting your dog(s) out in a fenced backyard, taking them for neighborhood or trail walks, going to a dog park, or following standard crate rules. Similarly for cats, I am happy to maintain the same feeding schedule, whether it's wet or dry food, and clean the litter box regularly. And of course, give your pets all the scratches and attention they want!

Whitney is the best and I’m so thankful I came across her on Rover - She is attentive and demonstrates the utmost care and respect for your fur baby. I only have positive things to say. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone responsible, responsive, and a great communicator!
Katie was fantastic with my anxious and timid rescue dog! She came over for a meet and greet, and she was very calm and respected my dog’s space. She was quick to respond to my request, and followed my instructions perfectly. I will definitely ask Katie to walk my dog in the future. I highly recommend her!
Jessica did a great job walking our dog Bruno for 3 weeks. She was attentive to Bruno’s personality, behavior, and needs. We did a meet and greet for initial setup and from there she gave me notes for each walk. She took care of a wound that happened and gave daily notes on the wound to ensure it didn’t need further care. She accommodated schedule changes when needed/available for rain. I hope she is available for any future needs.
Can’t recommend Madeline enough. She helped us out with regular weekly walks for my dog. She was always timely and easy to communicate with. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs. He would literally yelp for joy when she arrived he was so excited to see her. I would recommend Madeline in a heartbeat!
I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is a mature, responsible caregiver who clearly takes her role seriously. From the start, I have felt completely comfortable trusting her with my dog. Communication was thoughtful and reliable, and it was obvious that she pays close attention to each dog’s needs.Sonja is experienced, dependable, and genuinely caring.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Glen Echo. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glen Echo. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
